A Key to Sweet Potato Varieties.
The United States Department of
Agriculture is working out a key by
means of which valeties oi sweei po
tatoes can be identified. There has
always been a great deal of confusion
regarding sweet potato varieties, ano
this key will make it possible to pos
itively Identify all true varieties. It
is based on the color, size and shape
of the stems and leaves, and the color,
size and quality of the potatoes them
selves. That the key works is attest
ed by the fact that by its use varieties
described at the time columous ais-
covered America have been identified.
The development of varieties ot
sweet potatoes for stock feed, sirup,
starch and sugar making is under
way, and the preliminary results se
cured indicate that the possibilities of
the sweet potato have hardly been
touched upon. It Is yet too soon to
say just what may be expected from
this work, but the results thus far
secured are very promising. This
work is being done at Arlington
Farm, Va., and at the Pee Dee Exper
iment Station, Florence, S. C
Investigational work in curing
sweet potatoes has also brought out
Important results. It was shown that
with proper handling in storage con
ditions, sweet potatoes can be carried
through the winter and aa late as
April 1 with not more than 1 per cent
of loss from decay.

Our school at this time iR badly in

is it we have epidemics of serious
kinds each year, It is because we are
not prepared to keep our bodies in
physical condition, there being no
place for us to take indoor exercise.
If we get exercise at all during t he
winter months, we must expose our-
Wes to the colt' and storm to got
it
If our school had a gymnasium the
Btudents could have all modern ath
letic games which are played In the
winter. The smaller children would
not have to expose themselves to the
storm In order that they get the prop
er amount of exercise to keep them
healthy as Is the case now.
A gymnasium would not only help
us now and in later years, but It
would be a good place especially for
hoys to go at nights when they have
nothing to do; and this, It it wera
properly curried on, would remove
many of the temptations which are
now In the way ot the local boys. And
I am not alone In the belief that wo
need a gymnasium.
